With just about a week to go before the non-waiver trading deadline, trade rumors are starting to heat up and with the Cleveland Indians in first-place they are in the middle of several. One particular rumor is that they’ve expressed some interest in trading for outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. of the San Diego Padres.
Cleveland has been involved in conversations in recent weeks with San Diego about Melvin Upton, Jr., but seems nothing has been close.

The Indians aren’t the only team interested in Upton as the Baltimore Orioles and even the Toronto Blue Jays have been mentioned as having interest as well.
